Effects of variability in daily light integrals on the photophysiology of the corals Pachyseris speciosa and Acropora millepora
Phototrophic sessile organisms, such as reef corals, adjust their photosynthetic apparatus to
optimize the balance of light capture versus protection in response to variable light …
